MAYER JULES ROBERT BLOCH, 0F PARIS, FRANCE.

PERFUME-SPRAYER.

Application filed July 5, 1911.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MAYER J ULES ROBERTBLooH, of 43 Rue Richer, in the city of Paris, Republic of France, haveinvented Improvements in Perfume-Sprayers, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

It is known that certain perfumes when distributed or diffused over anarticle or in an apartment, combine together and thus produce a new andvery agreeable perfume. It has already been tried to mix difi erentliquid perfumes in one and the same receptacle,but this mixture does notgive good results because one of the perfumes dominates and destroys theothers. It is therefore necessary, in order that the perfumes maypreserve their indiviclual qualities and yet mingle together, that theyshall be distributed or difiused separately and simultaneously in theapartment or upon the article to be perfumed.

This invention has now for its object to provide an improved perfumesprayer which will enable a number of perfumes to be distributed ordiffused separately and simultaneously.

This improved sprayer consists substantially of a receptacle dividedinto a number of compartments each containing a difierent perfume. Eachcompartment communicates on the one hand with the atmosphere by means ofa tube terminating in a spraying nozzle and on the other hand with achamber located at the upper part of the receptacle and in which air maybe compressed. The air pressure acts simultaneously upon the variousperfumes which are projected separately and simultaneously through thenozzles. In order that the liquids contained in the compartments of thereceptacle may not mingle together if the sprayer is upset, the airinlet ports and the tubes can be closed at will by means of deviceswhich will be described hereafter.

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanyingdrawings in which:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of the sprayer. Fig. 2 is a verticalsectional View. Fig. 3 is a plan view, the sprayer head being removed.Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7 are detail views of the closlng cocks.

As illustrated, the improved sprayer consists of a receptacle or flask adivided by partitions 6 into a certain number of com- Specification ofLetters Patent.

partments c. The compartments 0 of the receptacle a are closed at theirupper part by a metal plate 0 integral with a ring or lining 0 sealed onthe receptacle a. In the metal plate 0 are secured tubulures 7? placedrespectively opposite each of the compartments 0 and putting the latterin communication with the atmosphere. Each of these tubulures 79, whichforms a cock shell, receives a metal plug (1 within which is providedtwo passages r and 8 each forming a right angle inside this plug. Thepassage 1", which opens on the side of the plug, communicates with thetube d which is secured on the said plug. The passage 8 opens at one endalso on the side of the plug and at the other end on the bottom of thelatter. 'When the plug 9 is suitably rotated, the passages r and s cancome opposite openings 25 and it provided in the walls of the tubulurep. The opening t communicates with a pipe 12, forming the prolongationof the tube d and opening in one of the nozzles 6 (Fig. 7). The openingit communicates with the chamber f formed by the head f which is screwedto the ring 0 In the example illustrated, the air is compressed in thischamber by a piston to. If the plugs q are turned so that the passages rand s coincide or register with the openings t and u and if the piston wis then actuated, the air compressed by the latter in the chamber 7passes through the openings in and the passages s of the plugs 51 andexerts a pressure upon the liquids contained in the compartments 0. Thenthese liquids rise in the tubes cl, pass through the passages r of thecock plugs, the tubulures p and escape as a spray through the nozzles c.As the air simultaneously enters the compartments c the perfumes rise atthe same time in each of the pipes 03. Since these pipes are independentof one another, the perfumes will escape through the nozzles separatelybut also simultaneously. By these means the desired mingling of theperfumes will be obtained. By suitably rotating the plugs q, theorifices of the passages r and 8 do not coincide any more with theopenings t and u of the tubulures p, so that the air cannot enter anymore the compartments 0 and the liquids cannot escape from saidcompartments. When it is desired to open or close the plugs (1 it isnecessary to first unscrew the head f.

In order to allow spraying one of the two liquids contained in thecompartments 0,

when the plugs q are open, each nozzle e can be closed by means of asmall plug 00 secured to the end of a small chain y.

The improved sprayer is more particularly intended for the mingling ofperfumes, but it may be used also for the simultaneous spraying of anyliquids, medicinal liquids for instance.

It is to be understood that the receptacle (2 may comprise any number ofcompartments 0. Likewise, this receptacle may be formed by connectingtogether in any suitable manner several small flasks.

Claims:

1. A sprayer forseparately and simultaneously projecting severalliquids, comprising a receptacle, partitions dividing said receptacleinto several compartments, a metal plate closing the compartments,tubulures secured on said plate and corresponding to the compartments,nozzles for spraying the liquids, pipes for putting said tubulures incommunication with said nozzles, cock plugs fitted in the tubulures,tubes secured on said plugs and a device for compressing air in thecompartments of the receptacle.

2. A sprayer for separately and simultaneously projecting severalliquids, comprising a receptacle, partitions dividing said receptacleinto several compartments, a metal plate closing the compartments,tubulures secured on said plate and corresponding to the compartments,nozzles for spraying the liquids, pipes for putting said tubulures incommunication with said nozzles, cock plugs fitted in the tubulures andeach presenting two passages capable of registering with one of thepipes and an opening of the tubulure, tubes secured on the cock plugsopposite one of said passages, a metallic head forming internally achamber and screwed on the ring securing the closing Copies of thispatent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing theCommissioner o f Pa ten ts,
